Pillar Homes: New Home Bronze
Pillar Homes goal was a stunning new retro house that takes you back to a nostalgic era with memories of family farms.

Radiant heat is also in the lower level. The interior design is truly a showcase with a careful balance of the old mixed with new. The interior product showcases are:
The end result gives our homeowner an updated nostalgic farm house reminiscent of the past with sustainable state-of-the-art products. It is truly an environmentally smart building project. By KC Chermak, Pillar Homes
